there in santa cruz. here is the view from earlier this evening. the waves were choppy and they will be building. and that's because there are several storms in the pacific that are kicking up the swells. so that is what's going to result in a beach hazard statement for tomorrow, 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. large breakers, ten foot or higher. and that means there is a risk of sneaker waves. current wave heights are 4 to 10ft. waves can hit without warning, so never turn your back to the ocean and be extra careful. here's a look at those wave heights tomorrow afternoon. coming up, you will notice around 14 footers along the california coast, which includes the bay area and the wave heights will remain elevated as we head into the weekend. and the first part of your sunday live doppler seven is tracking the first of two systems that will impact us through the end of the workweek and weekend, and that one is bringing some showers and snow showers to northern california. we are seeing a few returns in the northern part of our viewing area. so far. most of that is moisture in the clouds, but there are a few sprinkles that

mile long, adams said. it's a popular place, especially for those who fish for work or fun. oh it's used. >> i mean, sometimes it's elbow to elbow by people. >> the city tells me they understand this is a heavily used area, one of the only piers where people can fish for free. sometimes they see up to 2000 visitors a day every day that people are allowed on it. >> there are people fishing a lot. these are people who do it for a living, you know, do it to feed their families and stuff. um, and so it's a really critical part of pacifica, the pacifica pier was built in 1973. >> the public works director says a structural assessment last spring looked at damage from previous storms. now the city will combine those findings with this new assessment for a finalized report, the public works director estimates repairs could cost around $20 million. >> but the question is how can you stop that much force? we have to look at nature, you know, mother nature winds and it it predicates what we need to do next. >> the assessment is expected to be complete by january 25th.
